  TrueDBGrid for WinForms 2019v1

  Improvements
  
  Added the AutoHeightCaption method. This method calculates the height of display columns caption by caption string.

  The above text is from the Release History.
  
  Please explain the intended use of AutoHeightCaption method.

  In what scenario we can make use of it and how?

  Regards
  
  Mahesh

  Hello,

  AutoHeightCaption method is use to control the height of Column Headers depending on the caption of the column.

  It is dependent on the wrap property of HeadingStyle and ColumnSelectorStyle objects of TrueDbGrid.

  Code snippet is given below :

  c1TrueDBGrid1.HeadingStyle.Wrap = TextWrapping.Wrap;
  c1TrueDBGrid1.ColumnSelectorStyle.Wrap = TextWrapping.Wrap;
  c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].AutoHeightCaption();
  

  Please refer to the attached sample demonstrating the same.

  Thanks and Regards,

  Hi,

  c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].AutoHeightCaption()

  As per the documentation, This method calculates the height of display columns caption by caption string.

  But I have following questions about the AutoHeightCaption method (after seeing sample demo):

  1. Does it mean that it sets the height of display columns caption automatically?

  2. Will it work, if I reduce the caption string length programmatically after the grid initialization?

  The whole purpose should be optimum utilization of column headers space in terms of dynamic grids captions.

  How I expect it to work is:
  
  If I reduce column’s width then caption string should be wrapped and header height should be increased
  
  and
  
  if I expand column’s width then caption string should be un-wrapped and header height should be reduced (provided other column’s caption allow so) accordingly.

  Regards
  
  Mahesh
